Abstract
Neutron diffraction has been used to determine the liquid structure of 1,3-dimethylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]amide ([dmim][NTf2]). Significantly smaller charge ordering is found in this liquid compared with analogous chloride and hexafluorophosphate salts due to the diffuse charge density and size of the [NTf2]- anion. This is manifested in a much larger cation-cation and cation-anion separation and an overlap of the cation-cation and cation-anion shells. Comparison of the liquid structure with the crystal structure reported by Holbrey et al. (Dalton Trans. 2004, 2267) indicates little correlation, for example, the [NTf2]- anion adopts a trans orientation predominantly in the liquid whereas a cis orientation is found in the solid phase.
